Reflection of your true self.
Your search among books, word upon word, may lead you to the depths of knowledge, but it is not the way to receive the reflection of your true self.
When you have thrown off your ideas as to mind and body, the original truth will fully appear. Zen is simply the expression of truth; therefore longing and striving are not the true attitudes of Zen.
-Dogen, "The Practice of Meditation"
Hi All,
Its me again . .. Today’s quote is basically about acknowledgin wots good for you and practicing it… cos knowledge wont be useful without practicing it…
Last nite, my sis asked me qty bout meditation.. comin from someone who neva practice meditation before, I was so eager to teach her… turns out, she;s the one who teaches me..
I normally practice loving kindness meditation, which can b difficult at times, when my action of the day is wrong n my heart filled with worries… Last nite, she asked me, durin meditation, hav u eva think of wot uve done on the day n just acknowledge wot uve done wrong ???
Im speechless cos I neva did, tats why I neva improve myself n my attitude toward others.. I can be quite abrupt n rude towards ppl ….
To those who I have hurted, pls accept my sincere apology and pls always keep reminding me of wots good n wots bad by offerin ur precious advice….

Lov, Mel
